Research interests: |
Her research focus is mainly in Materials Engineering, this is applied both in Antarctic sea ice research and advanced ceramic materials development for application in catalysis processes. Under the advanced ceramics research, she focuses on powder metallurgy, thermodynamics for materials development, material properties development and tribological testing for suitability of application. And under the sea ice research she focuses on improving the understanding of the material properties (structural and mechanical) of Antarctic sea ice, predominately through artificial sea ice growth experiments in temperature-controlled laboratory conditions and nominally through filed testing in the Marginal Ice Zone in the Southern Ocean. She is an active supervisor of postgraduate students and has published in both sea ice and ceramics development journals.
